Pantone’s fall 2018 colour trend report features bold and vibrant colours for the season. It is no surprise to see the return of jewel tones like shades of burgundy, teal, olive and purple. A few surprises include the continued trend of a lilac floral colour that was everywhere in Spring 2018. The lilac along with shades of yellow make it that much easier to transition pieces from your spring wardrobe into the autumn season. Consider pairing (and layering) yellow with burgundy or lilac with darker shades of purple.

At Bay & Harbour, you will find many pieces that are on trend in many ways, including the colours of the season. Have a look at some of our favourite picks!

This wasn’t unusual. The company, which aims to make fashion a more sustainable, ethical, and transparent industry, is built largely on comprehensive investigations into the supply chains of different brands, the results of which they share on theironline wiki. Ivanka Trump was an obvious subject in light of boycotts led byGrabYourWallet, which may or may not have causedNordstromandNeiman Marcusto back away from the line. Plus, community users had specifically requested the investigation. The reason it was unusual — enough to warrant a behind-the-scenes look at the investigation process itself — was that they found nothing.

Project Just discovered no code of ethics, no sustainability reports, no human rights policies.

With five researchers working in six countries over the course of a month, and despite contacting spokespeople, sales reps, and brand employees, Project Just discovered no code of ethics, no sustainability reports, no human rights policies. A shipping list pointed tofactories in China and Indonesia, but no factories were at the addresses, and calls to the phone numbers listed went unanswered. The 12-employee business offers paid maternity leave to new mothers, but revealed no policies ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, or health care to the women working at every other level of manufacturing — despite Ivanka Trump’s emphasis on empowering working women. Project Just uncovered no evidence that the brand (whose manufacturing and distribution is handled by licensing group G-III Apparel) knows anything that goes on within its own supply chain — or, at least, is willing to share what it knows.”

Project JUST, a new website launched in early December 2015, is a new website set to expose the underbelly of the mainstream fashion world. The website is a catalog and forum of research on fashion brands’ manufacturing M.O., their environmental effect and their social impact. In doing so, they provide and quick method for consumers to check how ethical their favourite fashion label’s manufacturing practices are.

In an industry where green-washing is all too common, the website provides a transparent view on otherwise shady supply chain. The website uses a four-step filter to weed through the public information available about fashion brands:

The first layer is self-reported information from sources, such as the brand’s site, their 10-Ks, executive speeches, and sustainability reports. This covers size and business model, transparency, labor conditions, environment, innovation, intention, management, and community

The next layer is information that other NGOs or on-the-ground organizations have published about that brand’s supply chain. This information includes any research or rankings comparing that brand to comparable ones on the market

The third layer is any media coverage and investigative reporting related to the brand and their manufacturing practices

Lastly, Project JUST gives the brand a chance to provide some honest input by reaching out to them for direct feedback

In doing so, the website seems to be aiming to separate the truth from the industry jargon and providing consumers with a clearer picture on the ethical and environmental impact of the fashion companies they are interested in.
